Ugh. Time magazine. About 40 years ago I took a young man’s grand tour of Europe, riding trains through 13 countries. In my backpack I had a tattered Time magazine. That’s about all I had to read for two and a half months. I read it over and over again and became familiar with the way Time constructs articles. It’s real simple. Halfway through any article, Time will take what the reporter wrote in the first half and turn it upside down. They present this as a conflict, which is supposed to make the article interesting. But upon close study, it becomes clear that the article, as a whole, is complete crap. A more accurate name for Time magazine would be Conflict magazine. It’s really just junk.

I think they should rename Did Magazine

DID for dissociative identity disorder
Their writers all seem to suffer from that pathology :)

You couldn’t find something better to read for those two months ? That must have killed some brain cells being subjected to reading that for all time lol

Re: post 18, you took a train ride thru 13 countries and you didn’t stop at a kiosk to update your reading materials? Such an exciting time to sit up all night in a cafe and read the International Herald Tribune with other foreign travelers and locals.
